Document the hacks to build training tools on mac
Environment
- Tesseract Version: 5.1.0
- Platform: Mac
Current Behavior:
The documentation here https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/tess4/TrainingTesseract-4.00.html#hardware-software-requirements says that
"At time of writing, training only works on Linux. (macOS almost works; it requires minor hacks to the shell scripts to account for the older version of bash it provides and differences in mktemp.)"
Expected Behavior:
It would be beneficial for macOS users to document these minor hacks to help them build the training tools on mac.
Suggested Fix:
Document the hacks to build training tools on mac
This is not a technical problem of Tesseract, but a documentation issue. Therefore I transferred it to tessdoc
.

The comments relate to tesstrain.sh which has already been deprecated in favor of makefile based training.
